For Real
石田燿子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As you stand lonely in front of me
The melancholy that flows from your back captivates me
I want to embrace you with a nonchalant love

Beneath your smiling face
Only unbelievable words are baring their fangs
You are looking for love in those fragments
One day, a selfish voice humming a song will reach you
And in that very moment this world is going to change

What are we going to find
By shredding time
I will be by your side
If that is gentleness

What are we going to set our eyes on?
Reach out (your hand) to me.
That truth that you grabbed on to,
Let it go,
Let us trust each other.

The way you gaze at a spot far away
Means you're listening to the voice of your heart
And still holding the blue moon.

Your strength, shown in your will to keep on running
Will open yet another new door
Light up the night which will soon go

Even if I am alone, I want to believe in you
In that very moment this world starts to go round

What are we going to find
By spitting out our hearts
We will meet again here
If that is the truth

What are we going to set our eyes on?
The truth that you grabbed
By extending your arm
Let it go
Let us trust each other

What are we going to find
By shredding time
I will be by your side
If that is gentleness

What are we going to set our eyes on?
The truth that you grabbed
By extending your hand




Let it go
Let us trust each other

Overall Meaning

In the song "For Real," 石田燿子 sings about finding love and trusting someone despite their flaws. The first stanza describes the singer being captivated by the melancholy that flows from the person's back. This imagery suggests that the person could be carrying a burden which they're trying to hide. Despite this, the singer wants to embrace them with nonchalant love, likely a love that doesn't come with conditions or expectations.


The second stanza reveals that the person is looking for love in fragments, meaning they're not whole and perhaps feel broken. The line "Only unbelievable words are baring their fangs" could refer to the person's hesitation to trust anyone. However, the singer suggests that a selfish voice humming a song will reach them one day and change their world. This line could indicate that the person needs to be selfish and focus on themselves before they can trust anyone else fully.


The chorus repeats the question of what they will find by shredding time and spitting out their hearts. The phrase "let us trust each other" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the importance of trust in a relationship. The song acknowledges the difficulties and uncertainty that come with searching for love but ultimately concludes that trust is necessary for a sustainable relationship.

Ookay, going to check out this show now. Have heard of it, but first time seeing: this OP is way too good. The chorus is fire, and the showcase of the various forms she will get.
Kokoro no naka hitori janai kedo itai houdo
kono mune wo atsuku suru
Hajiimaru ne shinjiru koko kara kono kimochi ikiru akashii
Hateshinai mirai hiiro aru kono sora atarashii
jibun ni umare kawaru
Sekaiju shiawase no yuki wo
furasete miseru yo~
Sono te tsuraide~
